LSU dream fizzles quietly with a 4-2 loss to UNC
OMAHA, Neb. -- An abrupt ending is never a lot of fun in sports. When a team has had the kind of season LSU did this year, it's that much tougher.
The Tigers' national championship hopes screeched to a halt Tuesday with a 4-2 loss to North Carolina in a College World Series elimination game at TD Ameritrade Park. LSU returned to the CWS aiming for a seventh national crown but leaves after a disappointing 0-2 showing. A lethargic offensive performance is the main culprit, as the Tigers (57-11) could never generate the kind of big innings or effective execution that were their hallmarks all season. Against UNC closer Trent Thornton - making his sixth start of the season - LSU scuffled for 7-plus innings.

We have a nice class of recruits coming in next year hopefully we develop some boppers to replace the talent that's leaving. |

All little common sense goes a long way. |

That huge ballpark rather nullifies big hitting teams like LSU. This points to small ball strategy which Manieri underutilized as they had a couple of chances in the first game that he let slip away. Great year nevertheless.

I didn't even know that game was on and missed it. Had to work.
When I got home I turned on the tv and it was already over. I guess that was like anesthesia. |
